In this JavaScript tutorial you'll learn to code a digital clock with JavaScript. We'll have to make use of several parts of the web development stack such as JavaScript, CSS and HTML. In fact you could achieve the same effect by just using JS on it's own but we're going to use web development to complete this JavaScript tutorial.
The features of JavaScript we're going to us are the setinterval JavaScript animation functions and we'll take a quick look at the setinterval and clearinterval functions.
You might be wondering what the difference is between the setinterval vs settimeout functions in JavaScript, well the the setinterval function is used to setup a repeated loop of events, such as we need for our timer and the settimeout function is used to create a delay between a function running for just one occurrence.
So whilst we're building our digital clock we'll learn web development essentials, like working with the JavaScript date object and working with the jJavaScript date functions. In fact, knowing about the JavaScript date and time functions is essential for getting into web development as it's a frequent bit of the JavaScript language to make use of so essentially makes this JavaScript tutorials a JavaScript date tutorial.
So I hope you enjoy this JavaScript tutorial helping you to learn to code a digital clock with JavaScript. Channel Handle @codebubb
